SPECTRUM OF WATER-VAPOR BETWEEN 8050-CM-1 AND 9370-CM-1

Measurements of the line positions of H216O in the 8050 to 9370 cm-1 region have been performed at a spectral resolution of 0.07 cm-1. A grating spectrum of room-temperature water vapor and a Fourier transform spectrum of heated water vapor (T {reversed tilde equals} 60°C) were used in the interpretation. A careful analysis of the bands ν1 + 3ν2, 3ν2 + ν3, 2ν1 + ν2, ν1 + ν2 + ν3, and ν2 + 2ν3 has led to a set of rotational levels belonging to the vibrational states (130), (031), (210), (111), and (012). Many vibrorotational resonances were detected. © 1979.
